21405 Parks Mill Rd Abingdon, VA 24211

Parks Mill is a historic multi-building grist mill compound in Abingdon, Virginia, featuring an existing special use permit and approximately 7.47 acres of land. The principal historic grist mill dates to the late 1700s and is a substantial structure that was historically used as a mill and is configured for adaptive reuse (such as a restaurant/bar, gallery, wellness pavilion, lodge, or related hospitality uses). Surrounding the mill are three detached buildings constructed in 2003, creating a flexible compound-style layout with a total building area of approximately 2,100 square feet; the primary residence functions as owner’s retreat or caretaker quarters, and a secondary building includes covered porches for guest accommodation or studio space. The compound also includes a bathhouse and a utility building that support event operations and can be repurposed for wellness or service uses. Event-oriented infrastructure is distributed across the site, including parking, site utilities, ADA considerations, and multiple bathroom facilities suitable for gatherings up to approximately 300 attendees. The property has nearly one mile of creek frontage, including a private waterfall, and portions of the site include floodplain areas. Zoning is described as agricultural, mixed-use, and special-use, providing flexibility for hospitality, educational/cultural, and residential concepts, including the potential to support up to ten tiny homes in appropriate areas. A septic system was newly permitted in 2021.
